Creating EQuilibrium in Canada

Twelve Canadian home builder teams were recently selected as winners of Canada Mortgage and Housng Corporation (CMHC)’s EQuilibrium sustainable housing competition. The competition was organized by CMHC to support the construction of sustainable, healthy houses that are also affordable and energy and resource efficient. EQuilibrium housing is designed to lower homeowners’ energy bills by reducing energy consumption and delivering electricity back to the grid. The homes will also promote water conservation, healthy indoor environments, durability, and reduced pollutant emissions.
